Executive Summary
Discussions from the Milken Conference highlight persistent economic anxiety in the U.S.
due to a 30% rise in housing costs and a 25% rise in healthcare costs over five years, fueling policy debates on taxes and supply-side reforms.
The digital payments sector continues its rapid expansion, with platforms like Zelle processing over $1.2 trillion annually and identifying small businesses as its fastest-growing segment, signaling a broader economic shift from cash to digital.
Momentum is building in next-generation energy and space technologies, with companies like TerraPower and GE Vernova beginning construction on Small Modular Nuclear Reactors and startups like Northwood Space raising significant capital to build foundational infrastructure for the commercial space industry.
Geopolitical tensions remain a key focus, with particular concern over Russian authoritarianism, the imprisonment of over 2,000 political dissidents, and the ongoing efforts of opposition groups to plan for a post-Putin transition.
